The Bike Library is a volunteer-run, community bike shop. There are in-house and outreach programs happening every day of the week. You do not need to be bicycle mechanic to contribute to the mission on getting more people on bikes. 
There are many other ways you can contribute as well. Although bicycle repair is a set of specialized skills, the Bike Library believes that anyone can learn these skills if you so choose. Our goal is to elevate volunteers’ self-sufficiency and confidence in their mechanical skills. We encourage mutual exchange of knowledge and learning among patrons and volunteers of the Bike Library.
